Simple and not as time consuming as they seem.
1 pound ground beef
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2/3 cup soy milk (or any milk)
1 onion, chopped fine
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Mix all ingredients together, form into balls with wet hands. Place in large saucepan filled with water (or broth). Simmer gently until browned.
